hi everyone. i'll try and briefly summarize my intro because my brain is fried. i'm 23 years old and my whole life i now realize i have suffered from copper toxicity and possibly mercury being in there too because of vaccines.

every single day starting in the 4th or 5th grade i have felt severe anxiety, mind racing, depression, brain fog and cognitive difficulties, extreme emotional sensitivity, emotionally blunted, really bad ocd until a couple years ago, many obsessions which have made it really hard for relationshiops, feeling like i am crazy, profound exhaustion, candida, adrenal fatigue, disconnected from the world and God, and many more.

a couple months ago i was hospitalized for depression and anxiety because of severe stress and being out of control of my life. i haven't been able to keep jobs despite trying 9-10 different very simplistic jobs. i just realized how i had no life and my relationships have never been good because of how sick i've always been. i just wanna be able to function and have healthy relationships and i'll be the happiest person in the world. just to feel whole for the first time would be really great.

i've stopped dreaming about my future. like i don't know if i can overcome this illness and i'm really scared. i used to dream about being an athlete and had scholarships to play baseball but the illness didn't allow me to get through college like i had hoped because of my brain malfunction and inability to deal with stress.

i don't mean to be negative but i really have suffered a lot i now realize. after learning about my family dynamics and some about my condition, my awareness is incredible but it makes me really sad realizing what i felt my whole life wasn't what normal people go through and i realize the severity of the anguish. but i know this isn't the real me and i've seen glimpses of the funny, positive, and loving person i am.

anyways, i do have hope and that is all i am living by right now. that's all i have. i was tested through hair mineral analysis because its cheap and effective way of screening body chemistry. my test showed i am very copper toxic and my metabolism is very slow. so slow that they called my copper toxicity "hidden." after learning and reading the info they gave me, its within normal range because my metabolism is so slow, no metals are being eliminated and if i can build energy, heavy metals and the copper will begin to go up on the hair tests showing they are coming out of deeply stored tissues.

this seems like the place for me because people are going through similar experiences. i hope to get some guidance and figure out a good protocal i can feel good about. i hope everyone is making improvements and i hope to meet some good people that can support me, guide me, and i can hopefully do the same in return. God bless.
